SPICE™ Hardware Guide FOUR: installing SPICE
550008 Rev. A installing cSPICE
determine link antenna orientation
The link antenna is found on the front of the cSPICE. Use a compass or other tool to determine
the direction of the bSPICE from the cSPICE site.
If the bracket cannot be mounted so the unit is facing the bSPICE signal, remove the link
antenna from the front of the unit and mount it remotely.
note The best signal is not always directly from the bSPICE direction. You will need to check the
antenna alignment (see page 34).
mount the unit
To mount the unit, first mount the bracket where the unit is to be located, using the orientation
determined above. Mounting clearances must be at least three inches (7.8 cm) above the
coverage antennas (to allow for removal of antennas) and 12 inches (30.5 cm) below the unit
(for service hatch access and DC power cable connection) (Figure 24). The front of the unit (in
front of the link antenna) must be completely free of obstructions.
